Late fall brought about two pregnancy announcements from two of my favourite people, Lisa and Carole. Their due dates were exactly a month apart, but thanks to the unpredictability of pregnancy and childbirth, we are about to have 2 babes in one week.
Carole gave birth to an absolutely beautiful little girl. Sydney made a very early entrance to the world on June 5th. I have yet to meet her, but thank to the magic of Facebook, have seen a picture of her with her big brother, Ethan.
Lisa, due on June 1st, is currently in labour a million miles away in BC. We are anxiously awaiting news by phone or email and her parents and sister have done a marvelous job keeping us in the loop. Lisa and her husband, Willie, did not find out the sex of the baby, nor did they let any of the names they liked slip out so everything about this delivery is a surprise to us all. I can’t wait to have more news to report.
Congrats to Carole, Marty and Ethan on the perfect little addition. Lisa and Willie, we’re anxiously awaiting word that your little bundle has arrived.
2 babes, one week. How perfect.

An update. Finally.
Lisa had her new baby girl yesterday afternoon. She named her Pearl, which was my grandmother’s name. Not that she named her daughter after my grandmother – purely coincedental – but it just means I’m very partial to the name. It’s beautiful, as I’m sure that wee baby girl is.
Also, I wanted to say congratulations to my good friend Tessa who also gave birth to a baby girl, who she named Amelie, at the end of May. I’m still waiting on pictures of this cutie too…but if she looks anything like her big sister, she’s gonna be a knock out.
It looks like good things really do come in threes. Congrats to the new and second time mamas once again. Babies, babies everywhere. It’s almost tempting…
